Zulus only run 7-shot APKWS pods, they're not cleared for the 19-shot long pods. Normal LAU-61s are still kosher though.

Also if you do get Floyd's aux tanks, one thing to note is that out of the box, they're configured as if they're going to be mounted to a Whiskey. The bracket containing the plumbing for the Zulu is differently shaped and doesn't include the cylindrical compressor due to the fuel on the Zulu being pumped by the aircraft's internal OBIGGS system.

I feel like that wouldn't give the metallic sheen though, unless IJN Gray has it?

Seconded no seats.

Yes, agreed. I was specifically talking about the turret already released being used as a replacement for the Italeri Whiskey's pre-NTS TSU

If the turret on the right is the C-NITE TSU it'd probably not really work well for an NTS TSU, the latter on the Whiskey really more closely resembled the original M65 TSU with the left side blanking plate replaced with the FLIR and laser, the right side with the sight is externally just about unchanged.

Those TOW sight turrets would be a good replacement for the Italeri Whiskey too, I think

He ended up ordering the 167 MrVark linked, thank you all for the help!

35237 upper surfaces on the VFA-25 bird maybe?

I've been looking for a 1/72 ALQ-167 to help out a buddy's build, but can't seem to find any available beyond the Wolfpack ones, which appear to be all out of stock. Does anyone know any alternatives?

Very cool. DCS Apache is one of my favorite modules as well

Holy cow that rocks, how did you get the TEDAC screen to function?

Wouldn't be surprised if it was a combo of both.

Holy crap, yes. Hopefully they also end up putting out a K or M

Sherman, not sure if you still need references, but the 160th SOAR youtube channel has some good shots. Below is a video of DAPs with some good views of sensors.

I think Gunny's aiming to build a whole MAW's worth of Echoes lol

Those TOWs will be perfect for the Whiskeys I have in the stash.

Correct, LD, the UH-1N has been completely retired from USMC and USN service. The USAF still has them but will eventually be replacing them with the MH-139. The "retired" Yankees are going to the desert for storage because they have more aircraft than they do squadrons for them after shutting down HMLA-269 and HMLA-469 as part of FD2030.

You thought incorrectly, last I heard the sundown for the AV-8B is not until 2027.

That works, thanks man

Does Simone have a catalog listed anywhere? Poking back through ARC threads isn't the most efficient of methods to figure out what he's got available.

Not the biggest image since I had to screenshot, but is this by chance what you were referring to? Link is below https://www.instagram.com/p/CY9QHFLLvbg/

Zulu does not have the capability to carry or fire TOW, it doesn't have the TSU or any of the requisite electronics for TOW. There was a slightly big hullabaloo when it was being procured because some members of the Cobra community didn't think divesting the TOW capability entirely was a good idea. Italeri's AH-1T in 1/72 and 1/48 both have the TOW nose as well.

Oooh, those look very nice! Do you have plans for filled versions as well?

How is it a missed opportunity if the scheme was unveiled nearly a month after the sheet was released for sale?
